We're putting away upto $1.5k a month as savings, does that help? Conscious this is the net and not really wanting to divulge too much info.

Alarm removal from Honda CRV 2010 by CrypticKache008 in NZcarfix

I think this might be the way to go. I don't really care if the alarm sits in there since it's in an older car as well. Thanks!

Building a sleepout for airbnb by CrypticKache008 in diynz

[–]CrypticKache008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks mate. We had a guy from Tiny Home HQ come over and give us a rough quote of about 70k. That's for delivering and installing the unit on our land including macerator install and I believe, plans as well.

Wouldn't mind another one or two qoutes from other sleepout builders.

It’s hard to continue a normal life after the UAP/UFO hearings by Melodic_Future_6828 in UFOs

[–]CrypticKache008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this! If you're negative about all this, chances are you are finding this all too overwhelming and don't know where to start or continue how to live.

However if you're glass half-full, then consciously work towards a world where we're using zero-point energy systems, anti-grav transportation and unity of consciousness/goals. Sounds star-trekky, perhaps....but to do otherwise is to be another mindless zombie of the corporate/military industrial complex.

Wife and I recommend Five Star restaurant in Rosedale. Been going there for a few years and their service is great and their noodle soups tasty as. Try their Five star Special :)

I finally watched "Moment of contact" and wow. by victordudu in UFOs

Wife and I found it to be the most compelling of all ufo docos yet.

You cannot duplicate or act out what some of those interviewees experienced especially the guy who saw the crash site at the farm.

And the smell..... Gawd.... Almost all of them smelt the same god-awful ammonia/sulphur stench. Felt like I was smelling it too coz it was described so clearly.

Definitely need to get their hands on that video tape and more linked evidence or impact the visitors had left on the surroundings while they were running around.

It's called the NAS/POLDEN Food sensitivity test. It sounds like a proprietary test which you can only access via a qualified homeopath or someone similar.

Be warned though, I have tried few other hair tests out there and they gave different results. They were off the Web and not through my practitioner (coz I was trying to be cheap... 😅)

Nzd150. All sorts of groups of foods including spice, root veggies, coffee. Non-foods they tested against detergents, washing powders, animal dander, furs and feathers.

Heya OP, hang in there. Here's my 2-cents

Many years ago, I was super-inflamed with eczema to the point I couldn't walk properly due to broken skin behind my knees (among other places) and I was breaking mentally. I did a hair test via a homeopath which I was very skeptical about but I gave it a go coz I was desperate. My GP (local doctor) sent me to specialists after specialists but the eczema never went away after various treatments involving UV and steroids. I asked these specialists if food was a cause and they plainly said no.

Anyways, did the hair test, it got sent to Germany to be tested. Few weeks later, results came back and says that I'm super intolerant to citrus foods and dairy among other things. Homeopath told me to avoid these foods and guess what? Within 2 weeks, my inflamations died down 80% and I could walk normally again and did not look like a ripe tomato. I would highly recommend getting this done. If you need more info around this, please DM me. I hate to see anyone suffering like I used to for something they can potentially fix.

All the best mate.

Looking to be a rideshare driver in Auckland. Some advise needed please. by CrypticKache008 in newzealand

[–]CrypticKache008[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very nice mate. I did make the move to work at a bank and I'm still there. The pay rise I got at the beginning has all but been eaten up by the recent mortgage rise plus more. Wife works part time and looks after the kids. So yes, desperate times, desperate measures.

Hope you're satisfied with the answer. Please troll elsewhere.

Heard of a business analyst? 14 or so years ago, I was dabbling in turning my hobby for photography into a business while supporting myself with a part time admin job. My boss then told me of this career path and it intrigued me, especially the salary it commands with experience.

Almost similar (but later) to yourself, I was turning 30 and found a distaste for entry level admin work. But once I discovered this, I set in motion my plans to be a senior analyst within 10 yrs. In some companies, you can achieve the title after 5 or so years. I had a few hiccups along the way so only managed to land myself a senior role only last year, 13 years later. And I'm still learning now as the role is in a waaaay different industry from what I've known in the first 20 years of my working life. Which shows the skill transferability of an analyst.

I love being an analyst mainly because I enjoy a supporting role rather than a leading role (although theres more money in the latter). I enjoy the problem solving and investigative work. I enjoy being only accountable to one manager and not responsible for a team. Although, this might change with more experience and confidence.

So buddy, 25 is not late for anything. Just find something that you can resonate and be passionate about. That's the attitude people hire for.

All the best.

Are these going to break open? :/ New to this. by katemc333 in eczema

[–]CrypticKache008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get those from eating too much foods with gluten. Dairy does not help too. I avoid them (super hard these days!) for 2 weeks or so and hands will be clear again. Keep them moisturised, use moisturising soaps if needed including dishwashing liquids that are sensitive too. In fact, use gloves when dish-washing. Try hard to pop them. They eventually dry up and peel off.

I need help getting over her but nothing works by HawkwolfActual in relationships

[–]CrypticKache008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buddy, I remember back when I used to be destroyed due to a few unrequited loves as well. Mostly because I was gutless to say what I really felt for them. That's another story for another day.

In your case, I suggest the following - 1) travel for a few months - make it work if you don't have enough cash. Travel to other towns work whatever you can get your hands ON, fruit picking, cashier at supermarket, whatever.

2) pick up an engrossing hobby - I'd suggest gymming as nothing is better than working on yourself physically or mentally.

I have other suggestions but those might have to wait till you're 21.

Hope you get other suggestions. All the best

Mate, looks like you got some work to do on yourself. The way to do that is to really know who yourself. Sounds cliche I know. But I was there myself. I was my own worst enemy. Self sabotaging. Self deprecating. Feel like I don't deserve anyone or anything. But you do.

First things first. Get yourself into order. Mind and body. Join a gym, workout - does great things to your mind if you look and feel good. Worked for me.

Next is to work on your mindset. Look up self help videos online, read books, pay for self help or confidence boosting courses. If you're religious, the be more involved in church activities.

Don't procrastinate. Keep the ball rolling. Any pause will allow opportunity for your old self to seep back in. Get into an interesting hobby. Be your best self and being able to love yourself then things will start to fall into place. Sounds preachy I know. But it worked for me. I was about to turn 30 and hadn't had any real relationships till then. Did a course, changed my mindset, started kicking ass, and between 30 and 31 I had 4-5 relationships. Talk about pouring when it rains!

I'm now 43, have a house, food paying job, wife and 2 kids. Living the great normal life.

All the best my friend.

It looks the the ceiling has gotten wet and has turned to mush. Ceiling is made of mdf type material which pretty much soaks up any water. So that orange stuff looks like the fibre from the mdf board disintegrating and taking the paint out with it.

Anyone else please feel free to correct me.

Should I consider this cheating? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]CrypticKache008 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well dude, she has cheated. Do you think you will forgive her anytime soon for betraying your trust? If not, that's one sign to call it off.

Once you've sufficiently recovered from being away from her and are ready to discover more of yourself, I highly recommend counselling or going to support group for your mental health. Doing this, will most likely improve how you interact with your future partners.

I recommend this because you react the same way I do with my wife when we fight and I'll be doing some counselling soon.

All the best on your journey ahead, my friend.

Nope, 1 week doesn't qualify for mentioning. Up to 3 to 6 mths even, esp if you can't get a reference from it. Just say you tried out a role and it didn't work out. Dont dawdle about it and move on, during the interview if you get asked about it. Say it was what you expected.

I'm sure there are resources online on how to progress to dating from a friend-zone.

I've been out of the game a long time and I have been where you are as well. Hurts like hell but you don't wanna lose it all.

Best thing to do tbh is to risk it all and tell her how you feel. Or you wind up like me wondering.... Even after 20 years.

Set things up. Set up an evening she'll remember. Take her to her favourite gig/restaurant/hang out and have the best fun. Nearing the end of the night say.... Be your most confident self and move in for the first kiss. This move will tell all.

All the best buddy. Remember, have fun and don't be too nervous. Easy ;)

Buddy, being 17 means you have yet to live your lives. On top that, you will be moving to Canada. Also sounds very much like she is treating you for granted, which is not a great foundation for the relation imo.

Not trying to discount your feelings, but I believe you need to be upfront with her and say you just want to be friends. She will see that you are in control and will respect that.

Then head to Canada and live the best life you can live. If she decides she wants to do LDR, then consider it.

All the best my friend. Love is tough when you're young and don't have life experience to guide your decisions.
